EIG and Hammered Collaborate to Educate: 'Before the Hammer Falls' Free for New Members
As part of our ongoing commitment to provide the best resources and insight in the property auction industry, Essential Information Group (EIG) is delighted to be gifting our new members a complimentary copy of the acclaimed book 'Before the Hammer Falls'. We started the pilot in 2020, and we're delighted to announce it's become a core part of EIG's member offering.
Penned by industry veterans and Hammered founders Jay Howard and Piotr Rusinek, 'Before the Hammer Falls' demystifies the auction process, offering invaluable guidance for both novice and seasoned investors alike. EIG's own founder, David Sandeman, provided a comment for the book, sharing insights from his storied career in the UK property industry.
David Sandeman is not only the founder of EIG but is also an integral contributor to the property auction industry in the UK. Known affectionately as 'the Godfather of UK auctions', David regularly provides his expert analysis to institutions such as HMRC and the Bank of England, helping to shape an accurate understanding of the UK property market.
EIG's mission is to ensure every investor has access to the most comprehensive and accurate auction information. As the only website in the UK that provides information on every upcoming auction and past properties sold, EIG has established itself as the industry standard for auction information. To date, EIG's extensive database contains details of over 850,000 properties.
In addition to this wealth of data, EIG believes in the importance of education and understanding. 'Before the Hammer Falls' aligns perfectly with this ethos, providing an essential tool for anyone looking to buy, sell, or trade at property auction.
We are delighted to collaborate with Hammered in extending this gift to our new members. We believe that this book, coupled with the resources on our platform, will empower our members to make informed decisions and succeed in the property auction industry.
